Try saving this code in AppleScript Editor and making a trigger for 
'[script]⇥Run' Copy the URL from somewhere, switch to the target app and 
hit the shortcut.

<pre><code>try
set _atid to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set _text to the clipboard as text
 set _delimiter to ""
if _text contains "http://"; then set _delimiter to "http://";
if _text contains "https://"; then set _delimiter to "https://";
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to _delimiter
set _text2 to text items of _text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to _atid
set _text2 to _text2 as text
 set the clipboard to _text2
delay 0.5
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down
on error a number b
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to _atid
activate
display dialog a
end try

</code></pre>
